Snow!

This afternoon we got our first snow of the season.  It was a bit of a surprise since the weathermen were calling for rain as far as I knew.  We didn't get a lot, but we did get enough for the girls to go play in it.  As soon as we got home from school they asked if they could go build a snowman.  We all got dressed in our snow gear and headed outside to make a snowman.  Ben worked with the girls on building the snowman while I manned the camera.  Paige and Virginia had a great time and built a cute little snowman.

We had a great time playing in the snow tonight.  Too bad it will all be gone tomorrow.  Next time we get snow hopefully we'll get a little more and it will stick around longer.

They look like they had so much fun. We STILL haven't had sticky enough snow for snowmen yet. It's kind of a bummer!
